TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings! Delayed: Things That Matter, the little-watched CBS News monthly town hall show has shelved host Tony Dokoupil’s interview with Veep J.D. Vance, originally slated for tomorrow night. Best guess is that the war in Iran might have been a factor...President Cognitive Decline keeps referring to his war with Iran as an “excursion,” according to many outlets including the Military Times. Definition of excursion (per Oxford Learner’s dictionary): a short journey made for pleasure, especially one that has been organized for a group of people. Definition of incursion (per Oxford Learner’s dictionary): a sudden attack on a place by foreign armies.  The devil is in the details Mr. President, especially when billions of dollars in bombs are falling in the Middle East...More mixed messages from Trump: First The Donald posts a welcome on Truth Social to the Iranian soccer team scheduled to play in the World Cup beginning June 11 in the United States, Canada and Mexico. But then he adds, “I really don’t believe it is appropriate that they be there, for their own life and safety.” Earlier the same day, in another post, he expressed enthusiasm for the U.S. hosting some of the World Cup games, but added methinks defensively, “It will be the Greatest and Safest (my emphasis) Sporting Event in American History”...Weekend Watch: Fukushima: A Nuclear Nightmare examines the 2011 disaster at the Fukushima nuclear power plant in northern Japan. The documentary offers a white-knuckle look at how a massive earthquake triggered a tsunami that flooded the nuclear facility.  The harrowing footage and tales of worker heroism make this HBO Max program soar....If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard
